Challenges in Healthcare Delivery to the Homeless
Following the success of our Online AGM, we have an opportunity to hear an insightful presentation from Stan Burridge about the challenges and opportunities facing both doctor and patient when delivering healthcare to the homeless.
Stan's "lived experience", stretching back to a young runaway from the institutional care system, together with 20 years working and volunteering in the homelessness sector, place him in a unique position to explore these challenges.
This presentationn and discussion will be held via Zoom.
